Registry question

[john ranger]

I just deleted my photoshop 6 and wondering if I can delete all these entries in registry without any damage.
Can I delete any leftovers like this for other programs that have been uninstalled?

Thanks

I generally use a registry utility to do the cleaning. They usually make backups when you remove things, just in case the unexpected happens.

I use jv16 Power Tools, but I have heard that it can cause troubles on some systems if you aren't familiar with it. Another program mentioned (for Windows XP) is RegScrubXP.

You should be able to delete the registry keys associated with Photoshop but it is best to make backups of every key you delete just in case as a precaution.

Just run regedit, highlight the key you want to delete, up top, click on registry\export registry file and save it somewhere easy to find and then delete the key.
